BACH-SHARDS
was commissioned by the
Brentano String Quartet
as part of their Art of
the Fugue companion-piece
project. Ran deliberately
stays within the realm of
Bach-like vocabulary,
altering syntax in ways
that add up to something
slightly different from
the anticipated sum of
the parts. The work
builds up to a climax
that makes the entry
point into Bach’s
Contrapunctus X seem
thoroughly
natural. While
composing Bach-Shards I
found myself gravitating,
intuitively and
gradually, toward a dual
goal. First, though
the tension and
dissonance inherent in
certain moments of
Bach’s own
maze-likeÂ
contrapuntal structures
could quite easily and
naturally lead one into a
pungent contemporary
terrain, I opted not to
stray outside the realm
of Bach-like materials
and harmonic
language. Instead, it
was my hope to alter
their relationships and
context in ways that add
up to a something
that’s slightly
different than the
anticipated sum of the
parts. A mildly
deconstructed Bach, if
you will. The other
important challenge I set
for myself was building
up the latter,
toccata-like portion of
Bach-Shards in a way that
would make the entry
point of the fugue which
it precedes,
Contrapunctus X, seem
thoroughly natural.Â
It was my intent to have
the first fugal entrance
feel like a huge and much
welcome release of the
energy created by my
Prelude’s
penultimate stretch, with
its bravura figurations
elaborating on an
insistent dominant pedal
point.

When
Hugo Ticciati asked me to
write a new piece for his
quartet, I was
immediately enthusiastic
about this project. I
love how Hugo and his
O/MODERNT String Quartet
unite old and new music
in a completely natural
way. So, I was absolutely
excited about Hugo`s idea
of having my piece based
on two of my idols, Bach
and Beethoven,
deconstructing the one
and constructing the
other. With all my
respect for these great
composers I gave to the
piece a very personal
inner part consisting of
my own music that
influenced and inspired
the other parts. For the
whole piece I felt very
close to Beethoven, who
said: To make a fugue is
not art, which [is
something] I have made
dozens of times in my
study. But the
imagination will assert
its rights and must come
today, in light of the
old traditional form, to
another truly poetic
element. De/Con is a
travel into different
centuries with different
sound-languages. For me,
it was like having a
wonderful constructive
discussion with Johann
Sebastian Bach and Ludwig
van Beethoven, each of us
trying to speak our own
language, approaching the
others step by step. The
piece could be defined as
a Love Letter to two of
the greatest composers
ever. De/Con could be
preceded by (parts of)
Johann Sebastian Bach's
Die Kunst der Fuge (The
Art of the Fugue) and
succeeded by Ludwig van
Beethoven's Grosse Fuge
(Great Fugue). Ideally,
then, all parts should be
played attacca. It could,
but it hasn't to be
played with these two
pieces. (Manuela
Kerer)
